Looks like the Rockets want to move Asik by Dec. 15 the date that FA's signed in the off-season can be traded. Bargs has been playing well but would you trade him for Omer Asik and say one of their PGs like Brooks, Lin or Canaan.

You're trading defense and rebounding for scoring. The trade works salary wise and both contracts end in in 2015. The Rox have said they want 2 first round picks which we don't have and Asik wants to be moved because he wants to start which he won't do here playing behind TC so it's not a perfect trade but the Rockets are looking for a stretch 4 and it's a plus that Bargs can play backup C as well so they may consider a deal.

Would I trade Bargnani for Asik? No, I wouldn't, becuase we don't need an unhappy Asik. And why would Asik be unhappy? Because he's not a PF and would play backup for Chandler. Also, if you get rid of Bargs our offense would get even less effective. Earl, Hardaway and Ray from Latta are too inconsistent to depend on them. STAT can get injured any day and Shump isn't that much of an offensive threat. It'd basically leave us with Melo being our only option... and nobody to space the floor to take little pressure of him... so, no thanks, I think we're better off with Bargnani.

Asik makes the Houston Rockets a FINALS team in the West .. HC Keven Mchale may not know how to coach but having Twin-Towers with PF-Jones give them rebounds, and a lot of fouls to give in a 7 game series with Casspi, Parson, Lin, and Harden controllin the tempo of each game.
In a series I dont see any of the West best teams hanging with them .. Spurs, OKC, Blazers, Clippers.

Asik prove he's a playoff experience player, Bargani hasnt.
Asik scores off of broken plays & put-backs, plus add stops.
Barg may score 15 points, but his defense gives up 20 points (4-13)
The better player in this trade would be Asik.
